Closing event on February 28, 2022 – 5PM
at the presence of Mariangela Zappia, Ambassador of Italy to the United States
An initiative of the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation in partnership with the Fondazione Cassa Depositi e Prestiti (CDP), the exhibition is travelling the world thanks to Consulates, Embassies and Italian Cultural Institutes.
Curated by Ludovico Pratesi and Marco Bassan, the project explores the relationship between art, industry and contemporary society, revamping the concept of patronage, an importan Italian tradition, thus highlighting the role that business can play in supporting art.
Each of the eight, under-35, selected artists was able to realize his own creation in close synergy with one of the eight companies involved in the project, through an interaction with the companies and factory visits, and a productive relationship between the artists and the companies. The works, including sculptures, paintings and photographs, express the value that each artist took from experience, the inspirational motives for the work generated by the artists’ encounter with the world of the factory and the unique, individual understanding of the art-business relationship of each artist.
Works by:
Benni Bosetto, Giulia Cenci, Tomaso De Luca, Lulù Nuti, Amedeo Polazzo, Alice Ronchi, Giulio Saverio Rossi and Namsal Siedlecki.
The companies: Open Fiber, Terna, Eni, Webuild, CDP Immobiliare, Snam, Tim, Ansaldo Energia.
